Jimmy Fallon vaults to No. 1 on The Hollywood Reporter’s Top TV Personalities chart dated Feb. 7, leading the ranking for the first time.

The Top TV Personalities chart is a ranking of the most popular TV personalities on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Google Plus, with global data provided by social media analytics company MVPindex. The chart's methodology blends social engagement on the platforms along with weekly additions of followers/subscribers. TV personalities are defined here as performers primarily known for their appearances on their own TV series, including hosts of entertainment/news shows. The latest tracking week ended Jan. 30.

Fallon, who previously reached No. 2 on the chart twice (most recently in July), vaults 10-1, leading Gordon Ramsay and Mike Rowe in the top three.

Meanwhile, the lone change in the makeup of the chart is Tyra Banks, who re-enters at No. 7, replacing Steve Harvey.
